Jolida integrated with remote and pre-outs?


Underwood Hi-Fi lists their Jolida 1501RC as having pre-outs, but I don't see any in my research of the back panel. Does Jolida have a remote-integrated with pre-outs? I want to run a 2.1 system...

Sfar, so I can connect both the speaker wires and wires for the sub to the same speaker terminals without hindering the sound? The jolida only has a single pair of speaker terminals.
I have read that the high-level connection gives you better synching between the sub and the speakers for music.
I was also thinking about high-passing my bookshelf speakers through the powered sub, but this requires a main-amp-in connection on the amp, very few integrateds have these.
Interesting that Soundgasm got more than he expected! I guess Jolida, the company itself, is the only authority on what exactly their back panels look like, but their responsiveness is as sparse as their website...
Jolida 1501RC has better looks than the NAD line, but I would lose the ability to high-pass my bookshelf speakers...
Bob_reynolds, what about high-passing the speakers using the speaker terminals on the powered sub? If the sub has two pairs of terminals, the signal goes through these terminals and then out to the speakers - certainly some subs out there have active crossovers at the terminals going out to the speakers. Not all subs have low-level RCA outputs back to the amp. If I try to high-pass the speakers using these terminals, what powers the 2 speakers - the amp in the NAD or the amp in the powered sub? Are there any disadvantages in this technique?
Also - what do you think of HSU's line of subs? Do they have any that would fit your crossover criteria?
Bob - I like SVS because their crossover point is 80Hz going back to the amp. Other subs that I have looked at (Velodyne DEQ series, for example) crossover at 120Hz back to the amp. I want the 685s working as hard as possible, so I think a lower crossover point is more desirable...agree?
SVS does not show their frequency ranges like other sites, they don't use the typical "+/- 3dB" spec. Can you decode this graph they have on their site:

It seems to me that the SVS PB10-NBS produces deeper bass and is much heavier construction than other subs at the same price point.
Thanks! SVS should give you some free stuff, you are such a proponent of theirs on A-gon.
OK Almarg - so high-passing speakers is bad all around, or just high-passing them through the speaker terminals (passive crossover) is bad? What about high-passing through an active crossover, either on board the sub or through a separate component? I am a wee bit lost in all the very interesting technical terms. Thanks!
